Not displaying the probationary driver sign during the probationary period will not result in point deduction, but you may be fined by traffic police. Here are relevant details about the driver's license probationary period: 1. Duration: The first 12 months after a motor vehicle driver initially obtains a driver's license or adds a permitted vehicle type is considered the probationary period. 2. Regulations: Article 22 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law" stipulates that the validity period of a motor vehicle driver's license is 6 years. The first 12 months after a motor vehicle driver initially obtains a driver's license is the probationary period. During this period, a uniform probationary driver sign must be affixed or hung at the rear of the vehicle. Failure to display the sign as required will result in a fine.
When I first started driving, I made similar mistakes too. Not displaying the novice driver sign is no small matter—you could get caught by the police and receive a penalty, typically a 1-point deduction plus a fine of around 100 yuan. The sign must be displayed for the entire year during the probationary period. It alerts experienced drivers to keep a safe distance and avoid rear-end collisions. A friend of mine forgot to display it and got fined, losing points right after getting his license and having to retake the theory test. I recommend new drivers invest in a good magnetic sign and display it without skipping—safety first and hassle-free. Developing good habits early benefits long-term driving.
